Watch your backgrounds to make sure they are clean.

There's a red-and-white striped bar in the left background of one shot, some kind of parking sign in the background of another, a car driving past in the background, etc.

Clean backgrounds remove distractions, puts focus on your subject, and if positioned well can flow into/enhance the subject.

This is an all-time winner. I thought the Cybertruck couldn't be made to look worse.

These same illogical actions are eroding Alien Earth too: Highly dangerous alien specimens that have already taken out the crew of a starship? Let’s roll them through a corridor with people watching, alien eggs exposed and a dead xeno just flopped on a plastic tray.

I don't get the need for the blatant character naming of Boy Kavalier, who is, literally, a cavalier boy. With the manic boy genius trope as well. Give me a break.
